It is the transition to the use of IPV in Ukraine for all doses of the Immunization Schedule that should be the next task for vaccination. For this, several mechanisms can be used, including humanitarian assistance, the conclusion of planned direct contracts with vaccine manufacturers based on the needs of the required composition of vaccines according to the Calendar, in particular, taking into account the existence of modern combined vaccines with IPV, which can also be used at an older age. In the absence of combination vaccines with IPV, IPV can be used as a single vaccine.
If a patient tests positive for SARS-CoV-2 and/or develops COVID-19, discontinuation of biologics should be considered until the patient clears the infection. JAK inhibitors (tofacitinib and others) selectively affect the intracellular JAK/STAT signaling system, which mediates the action of many cytokines involved in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis. Unlike genetically engineered biological drugs, inhibition
Ингибиторы JAK ( тофацитиниб и др.) селективно влияют на внутриклеточную сигнальную систему JAK/STAT, опосредующую действие многих цитокинов, участвующих в патогенезе неспецифического язвенного колита. В отличие от генно-инженерных биологических препаратов, ингибиторы янус-киназа представляют собой низкомолекулярные синтетические средства, предназначенные для перорального приема. Тофацитиниб рекомендуют назначать пациентам с тяжелым и среднетяжелым течением неспецифического язвенного колита. Ингибиторы JAK могут нарушать вирусный иммунитет. Рекомендуется использовать низкую эффективную дозу для поддержания ремиссии: по возможности 5 мг, вместо 10 мг, два раза в день. Избегайте применения тофацитиниба во время пандемии, если нет других альтернатив. Это позволит пациентам избежать возможных побочных эффектов и частого наблюдения за патологией.
Treatment with corticosteroids (especially prednisolone ≥20 mg/day or equivalent) is associated with an increased risk of infection. However, it is unclear whether corticosteroid therapy is associated with an increased risk of developing COVID-19 or its complications. Data on budesonide, a topical corticosteroid with low systemic bioavailability, show that these drugs are associated with significantly fewer side effects compared to systemic corticosteroids and their side effects are close to placebo. If possible, corticosteroids should be avoided and a rapid dose reduction considered, and a switch to budesonide is recommended. This must be taken into account, taking into account the risk of exacerbation of CKD. If a patient with COPD is in contact with a person with COVID-19 or develops COVID-19, it is recommended to gradually reduce the dose of corticosteroids, the use of budesonide is preferred, but taking into account the severity of COPD and the risk of exacerbation.
